What more can I say about Bay Tree House other than the staff are brilliant? Mum was there nearly four years before she passed, they looked after Mum as if she was their mum. It's like a home from home. She was well looked after and very much loved and she loved them. Mum loved living there. The food
was very good and her clothes and things were well looked after. Mum really didn't want to go into a care home but after a week of being there she said I should have done this years ago, she made friends and Mum was very happy at Bay Tree. A big thank you for looking after Mum so well, as they go the extra mile. The staff make the residents laugh and our very cheery and they make every resident feel special.

My mum has been a resident at Bay Tree since September 2023 after a long hospital stay due to a fall. The management and staff are very attentive and kind and treat all residents as individuals with respect and dignity and provide an excellent standard of care. I don’t live in the area and whenever
I phone or visit they are very approachable and more than happy to discuss any aspects of my mum's ongoing care. Her clothes are always so beautifully laundered and hung up in her room which is immaculately clean and tidy whenever I visit. The cooks have gone above and beyond to encourage her to eat more and provide food she enjoys eating and the staff, where they can, give the residents options of how and where they like to spend their day. My mum is very immobile but is always assisted by cheerful staff with all her personal care needs day and night. The environment is cheery and bright and the wonderful team of regular staff provide a happy caring atmosphere with such commitment to their roles.

My mother stayed for 5 days respite and was not looking forward to it. But I am pleased to say she has enjoyed her stay.
She said the staff are absolutely brilliant and can't do enough for you.
She was very happy with her room and said everywhere was spotlessly clean.
Thanks to all the staff at
Bay Tree for making my mum welcome and looking after her.

My dad became a resident in June and he has settled in extremely well and that is mostly thanks to the amazing staff! He tells me how hard they work and he always has a laugh with them! He loves the food, he is always clean and tidy and the staff and management are always there to answer any worries
or queries I might have! They are all so friendly and helpful and dad is really happy there and feels safe so for me, I feel he is in the best place! I can’t recommend Bay Tree House highly enough!

The Bay tree isn’t like a care home it’s like a hotel. It’s absolutely beautifully decorated and immaculate! Add to that the fantastic staff and management and this home is a winner. My mother is treated as an individual with dignity and respect and is loved and extremely well cared for. Nothing is
too much trouble and I am always kept well informed of any issues as and when required. I am 100% assured that mum could not be in a better place and the peace of mind this brings is priceless. Thanks, everyone.

The staff in the care home are all very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. It was very clean and the laundry was an excellent idea. My Mum was in this care home for three weeks and was looked after very well.

Excellent care- my friend was in Bay Tree for about 8 months and the staff were unfailingly kind and caring with her and other residents. She was always clean and well looked after. The premises don't smell like a care home, very clean and attractive. The staff are friendly and responsive. Would recommend
to anyone.

This care home is the best I have ever been in. It is spotless and beautifully decorated but the most important thing is the care at the home. The staff are all wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble to them all. The laundry service is excellent. I felt at ease when learning that my relative was being
looked after with care, love and respect.

My auntie has been in the home for over 2 years. I find the staff extremely helpful and welcoming. I have visited my auntie on a regular basis, I find the staff go out of their way to make sure she's well presented and all her hygiene standards have been met.


I do feel that the staff : resident ratio

is stretched at times and occasionally the door takes a long time to be answered!

On entering Bay Tree House, I was welcomed by a member of staff, shown to where my partner was sitting in the sitting room, other residents were sitting in the dining room eating their tea. The kitchen staff came and introduced themselves and asked what food he liked to eat, everyone in the lounge was
talking to one another. They are having building work done but it did not stop the running of the house.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.290)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.290) out of 10 for Bay Tree House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.714 for Bay Tree House is calculated as follows: ( (26 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.714

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.576 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bay Tree House is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.326

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Gaynor Jones

Job Title: Operations Manager

Joined: 2018

I started working at Orchard Care Group in May 2018, initially as the manager of Bay Tree House Care Home. Over time, I also began carrying out Operational Management Duties. I support both care home managers within the group with their roles around; policies, procedures, risk assessments and the health & safety statements and assessments. I also deliver training to staff in certain core elements.

In 1981, I left school and began working as an accountant but felt unfulfilled by this role so I studied to gain my Registered Managers Award (RMA) along with other important training and qualifications.

I have worked in adult social care since 1989 and have held a registered managers role in domiciliary services for complex needs over 5 counties in North Wales, have been involved in the development of extra care living schemes and have been a registered care home manager in both residential and elderly mental health care settings.

I am passionate about enhancing the lives of people who require care and support to live their lives with freedom and choice and where their independence is optimised. I like to listen to what matters to people and be part of or lead a team who can help achieve those desired outcomes.

The care industry can be very challenging and in 2020 into 2021, we have faced the most challenging of time with the Covid-19 pandemic and how it affected and is still affecting care homes. It has made me even more driven than ever to protect vulnerable adults and staff and to make a difference. Being part of a family-owned business has given that extra sense of belonging and we all work together to strive to deliver a person-centred service that is meaningful and the best it can be.
